The researcher was blinded to parity and previous clinical information on the women, and not involved in their obstetric care. The researcher performed clinical assessments, including estimation of level of head, cervical dilatation, head flexion, position, overlap of fetal skull bones, caput succedaneum and asynclitism. A single assessment was done on each woman. <jats:italic>Main outcome measure.<\/jats:italic> CPD, defined as cesarean section for poor progress in labor. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> The author examined 504 women, and CPD occurred in 113 (22.4%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, sagittal suture overlap was independently associated with CPD. Other factors associated were maternal height, duration of labor, birth weight, and the interaction between caput succedaneum and cervical dilatation at the time of examination. Lambdoid suture overlap was not significantly associated with CPD, and could be determined in only 66.5% of examinations because of frequent head deflexion. <jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic> Assessment of sagittal suture overlap, but not lambdoid suture overlap, is useful for prediction of CPD. Knowledge of sagittal suture overlap may assist in decisions on clinical management where there is poor progress in a trial of labor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340802179848","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,11]],"date-time":"2008-08-11T21:00:40Z","timestamp":1218488440000},"page":"731-737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Sagittal suture overlap in cephalopelvic disproportion: Blinded and non\u2010participant assessment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"ECKHART J.","family":"BUCHMANN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ELENA","family":"LIBHABER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"609","DOI":"10.1016\/S0306-3356(21)00534-3","article-title":"The recognition of cephalopelvic disproportion","volume":"9","author":"Philpott RH","year":"1982","journal-title":"Clin Obstet Gynaecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"105","volume":"11","author":"Carlan SJ","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1980.tb04595.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(16)41670-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016346009157836"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9290(01)00070-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bmb\/ldg018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"258","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.2002.00641.x","article-title":"Intrapartum fetal head position I: comparison between transvaginal digital examination and transabdominal ultrasound assessment during the active phase of labor","volume":"19","author":"Scherer DM","year":"2002","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/jmf.12.3.172.177"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2005.04.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"1245","article-title":"Die Unformung des kindlichen Kopfes bei engem Becken.
